Drinking Liberally — Seattle

The last Tuesday of the primary season is upon us, with primary elections in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, Delaware and Rhode Island. (Okay…we’re ignoring the 13 Sept primary in the U.S. Virgin Islands.) So please join us this evening for some electoral politics over a pint at the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally.

Barfi also said that “the administration has made a number of inaccurate statements,” including that the Sotloff family was kept “regularly informed” regarding Steven and that the hostages were often moved to different locations.

“The relationship between the administration and the Sotloff family was very strained,” he added, saying that the family made one request from the White House following the release of the video and that the administration “rebuffed” them. He elected not to elaborate on the specifics of the request out of respect to the remaining ISIL hostages.

WASHINGTON — When President Obama addresses the nation on Wednesday to explain his plan to defeat Islamic extremists in Iraq and Syria, it is a fair bet he will not call them the “JV team.”

Nor does he seem likely to describe Iraq as “sovereign, stable and self-reliant” with a “representative government.” And presumably he will not assert after more than a decade of conflict that “the tide of war is receding.”

PuddyCommentary: This is what happens when DUMMOCRETINS erect a community organizer with no real foreign experience who claims “I am the anti-Bush”. Well the world isn’t about being anti somebody, it’s about being a leader. And everyone in the world can view Obummer is not a leader!

Anyone hear anything regarding the American Taliban that were planning to protest the Cowboys Game due to hiring of Micheal Sam. Was anyone listening to them? The Amercan Taliban stopping freedom in its tracks, they trample all over the Constitution.

So the other day Puddy brought up how Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz was jock strapping her support of the Arizona lawyer woman running for congress who provides services for male wife and girlfriend abusers. Then we watched Ray Rice, woman abuser, deliver a elevator knockout to his now wife Janay. If you remember from the article posted by Puddy Blabbermouth attacked Scott Walker for rhetorically attacking wimenz with “the back of his hand”. Well Ray Rice delivered a left cross knockout. Earlier this year we saw Ray Rice drag out his fiancee at the time from the elevator. You remember how the basest vile leftist DUMMOCRETINS on HA got their scrotes all tightened when Puddy reminded them of how they react over Republicans doing the same thing and how their howl to the moon over it.

We see the standard non-apology from Blabbermouth Schultz when she claimed she “shouldn’t have used the words I used”. Butt no apology to Scott Walker who has never been accused of anything close to wife or girlfriend abuse! Being a DUMMOCRETIN means you never have to say your sorry for the BULLSHITTIUM that flows from your lips.

Meanwhile Ray Rice’s contract was terminated yesterday by the Ravens. Maybe some voters should terminate Blabbermouth’s right to be in Congress! Butt they are too stoooooooooopid to figger it out!

@9 I’m surprised he’s out of quarantine already. Didn’t he arrive back in country only yesterday? TSA should keep him isolated at least two weeks to see if he picked up Infectious Brain Rot during his travels abroad. He’s certainly showing symptoms.

The USA, and it’s sane allies, need to make the Middle East irrelevant.

We need to eliminate the petrostate and the destabilizing nastiness that these (almost) universally corrupt and undemocratic regimes spawn in their neighborhoods.

It’s also an absolute global imperative that we humans stop burning carbon fossils for our energy. Yes, because climate change is real, and it’s very very dangerous.

To remain relevant we need to immediately divert a large fraction of our spending on weapons, along with other income streams like higher taxes on wealth and high income, and spend it on capital investments.

The biggest, nastiest lie of the right wing (oh what a target-rich environment THAT is) over the past 30-40 years may have been the ‘government is evil’ canard. Democratic government is US. It is the vehicle for doing things that either an individual or a corporation won’t/can’t – yet is necessary nonetheless. We’ve been sold a lie, based on fear and resentment, that has resulted in fewer and fewer people getting vastly wealthy, and the rest of society becoming more and more impoverished.

We need a very lenient and generous immigration policy – because immigrants (like my grandparents and puddy’s great-great grandparents, albeit against their will) built this country. Instead of exploitation, however, and the enriching of a few, immigrants, and workers in general, need be celebrated and nurtured. People are dying right now crossing deserts to get here – these people want to work, want to contribute. Make a haven for the dispossessed who just want to live and contribute – the human mind and human spirit is far and away the greatest natural resource on the planet – we should try to corner the market on this.

Free excellent education for all. Through college or graduate school. Put private schools out of business by offering for free the best possible education. INVEST in the future by nurturing the children and young adults now. Teach, train, nurture, unleash. Not a test-centric approach, but a brain-centric one.

A job for every person who wants to work…a fair paying job with which one could support a family. With paid time off, and enforced rules against wage theft and unsafe conditions and other depredations of unrestrained capitalism. Strong unions, and/or other mechanisms for worker input into the governance of the workplace…you know, like that economic basketcase Germany.

Related to jobs, we need a massive infrastructure investment – in the Trillions of dollars. We need a rebuild electrical grid, distributed solar and utility-scale wind installations. We need free, public high-speed high-bandwidth internet not in the control of private corporations. We need to subsidize or otherwise encourage an electric car infrastructure. We need intraurban and interurban clean, efficient public transportation – move people efficiently and foster density – creeping subsuburban development is ugly, dehumanizing, bad for community and utterly destructive of wild spaces and nature.

Universal, one-system, all-access excellent healthcare. Prenatal to grave. Wellness-focused instead of illness-focused. Investment early in staying healthy (closely related to generous time away from work). A culture of peaceful and appropriate passing….one thing I’ve noticed as a doctor, one whose practice is heavy on the elderly and chronically ill…when I mention that we are all, all of us, going to die at some point – about 20% of people look at me like I’m crazy…there’s a pervasive and unhealthy unreality that leads us to mindlessly spend billions keeping sick elderly people alive for a few more weeks in a profoundly undignified state of tubes and wires in the ICU…this must stop (and we have to laugh fools like Palin off the stage when she shrieks “Death Panels…SQWACK…Death Panels”)

A healthy community. A clean energy system. A productive, HAPPY populace. An educated, innovative workforce. A shared prosperity. An eviscerated foreign threat, disabled simply by us doing the right thing at home.

It’s totally doable, except for the hateful, fearful, tribal, nasty, shrill, sniveling, destructive ravings and manipulations that are so beautifully captured by the performance art stylings of our own puddibigot. He’s doing us a service, really…encapsulating the essence of evil and failure each and every day for us all to see clearly.

Flat out called the report fake and an effort to sell books. But I guess the Republican Chair of the House Intelligence committee is just trying to get Obama re-elected so he’s hiding the truth. It’s not like he has access to any actual classified information being the chair of the House Intelligence Committee and all.

And so, the only way that people buy the book is with some inflammatory comments. … The lawyers asked that none of their testimony be released until after their book was out and being sold, I think you have lawyers who have a financial interest in this certainly making allegations that are far from true.”

schmuckosmegma… So you applaud Ray Rice delivering the S M A C K D O W N in the elevator? Do tell! Well it’s par for the course for you schmuckosmegma! You are one sorry buffoon! Puddy doesn’t watch teevee during work hours. Butt, your sorry ASS is a prime candidate for a S M A C K D O W N!

@18 Don’t want much, do you, my friend? Most of that looks impossible, or at least improbable, to me. Our country is now run by people who only care about extracting rents, and don’t seem to care whether our society or even the planet survives. They seem to think they’ll do alright in any event. This clearly isn’t what the majority of people want, but the elites have found ways to circumvent the will of the people, by buying off the political system for one thing, and there doesn’t seem to be much of anything the people can do about it. I don’t know what the answer is. I guess we’re all going to die. But the selfish bastards who care about nothing but their own greed are going to die right alongside the rest of us. I don’t think they’ve really thought that through.

A few nuggets that suggest people will stay in great places to live even if their taxes go up…

“42 percent of households that made more than $500,000 and left the (New York Cit) in 2012 moved elsewhere in New York State. Another 22 percent departed for New Jersey, which is hardly considered a tax haven and where a so-called millionaire’s tax was imposed in 2004.”

“Fourth on the list of top destinations (for departing New Yorkers) was California (editors note, where taxes are so very well known for being low), where 9 percent of the wealthy households went.”

“That means that 86 percent of the households making $500,000 or more that left the city moved to four states with reputations for high taxes. …States known for lower taxes, among them, South Dakota, Delaware, New Mexico, Utah, Tennessee, Louisiana, Colorado, Alabama and Wyoming, did not even register on the study’s list of destinations for wealthier New York City movers.”

The door is wide open for Mr. Hannity to leave the state as he famously said he would. (H/T to Jon Stewart) You can go by bridge, ferry, tunnel, there are three international airports in the greater NYC area, a cruise ship terminal, the port authority Greyhound or your own feet and leave if it’s so bad. But you stay put. Why’s that?

What happens if on appeal the Prosecutors can’t provide quid pro quo evidence on Bob McDonnell? Doesn’t he walk upon appeal?

What happens if Rick Perry proves there was no quid pro quo? Perry gets off and he can then prove this was a DUMMOCRETIN witch hunt like many believe the Travis County DUMMCORETINS are doing like they tried with Tom Delay and failed EPICALLY!

In other words, the benefits of living in New York State are greater than the burden of taxes even though I go on the air daily and rant about taxes. In other OTHER words Hannity is full of shit. But we knew that all along.

“I will have such revenges on you both That all the world shall—I will do such things— What they are yet I know not, but they shall be The terrors of the earth. ” -Sean Hannity, or words to that effect.

@28 WTF are you babbling about now? Do you know a damn thing about law or legal process? Of course not! McDonnell is already convicted, dummy, and appeals courts don’t tamper with juries’ findings of fact, they only look at whether there’s evidence to support the findings.

The oppression charges against Perry don’t require a quid pro quo. There is, however, a quid pro quo that prosecutors can use to convict him of bribery — he offered her a staff job in return for resigning from her elective position. If I were a juror, I’d have a hard time trying to rationalize how, if she’s not qualified to be the elected prosecutor, she’s qualified to be a staff prosecutor? That looks like a bribe to me.

And, of course, puddyidiot is overlooking the fact that a Republican judge, an independent special prosecutor, and a grand jury of impartial citizens all had to find sufficient cause for this indictment. Somebody saw not only smoke but roaring flames in this case.

Optics… Obummer never understands Optics even after discussing with NBC News the official voice of Obummer’s sadministration. http://washingtonexaminer.com/.....le/2550135 You see libtards Koch companies are in almost 60 countries and employ more than 100,000 people worldwide. What does Tom Steyer do?

Piddles doesn’t like to think when his “sources” are questioned. The three main counties on Long Island are Queens, Nassau (where Hannity lives) and Suffolk. National ranks for median assessed property tax value of those three counties is #194, 2 (Where Hannity lives) and 12 respectively. New York County, which Hannity was railing about the taxes going up and he doesn’t live is 54th. Nassau, where Hannity lives is the fourth highest county for property taxes in the Nation.

Sales taxes in Nassau, where Hannity lives is 8.625, fourth highest in the state and a mere .25% lower than New York City. That’s right by living in Nassau, Hannity saves a shiny quarter for every $100 dollars he spends near his home. Spend $1000 dollars Sean and you’ve saved up enough for the Sunday edition of the New York Times.

So of all the places Hannity and his anti-tax schtick could choose to live and pay Property taxes, he chooses to remain in the Second highest because something, something, ooh i’m mad about my taxes so I live in Nassau instead of Westchester something I might move.

So we go back to it. The advantages of living and working in New York outweigh the burden of taxation so Hannity stays and wants you rubes to believe that he’s going to pack it in and go. Hey Piddles, is that some bullshit I smell on you cause you’re swallowing a lot from Mr. Hannity. Nothing is keeping him there against his will. He lacks the courage of his convictions. And you Rubes think he’s a fine brave American telling the truth like it is.

PuddyCommentary: A DUMMOCRETIN against something is usually after that same DUMMOCRETIN making a financial killing over the same thing. Why allow others to benefit from something that me them rich. That’s the DUMMOCRETIN way!

Meanwhile Koch Industries provides jobs for Real Americans! That’s why Harry Reid is against Koch and for Steyer! Mixed up priorities as always!

the comment thread is now up to 32 entries and the affirmative action baby, the nihilist idiot uncle tom puddypussypissypants is responsible for 50% of those (3 out of six) which raises his number of comments to 40% (a 2% increase, for the clearly “math challenged” one, the nihilist idiot uncle tom puddypussypissypants.

What does this mean?

Well, it means the affirmative action baby, the nihilist idiot uncle tom puddypussypissypants is most likely a narcissist and demonstrates clear signs of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (and I am NOT kidding).

Narcissistic Personality Disorder is characterized by a long-standing pattern of grandiosity (either in fantasy or actual behavior), an overwhelming need for admiration, and usually a complete lack of empathy toward others. People with this disorder often believe they are of primary importance in everybody’s life or to anyone they meet. While this pattern of behavior may be appropriate for a king in 16th Century England, it is generally considered inappropriate for most ordinary people today.

Hmmmmm… Now if the description above is not adequate, or fails as proof, let us examine the following bullet points (from the same source):

In order for a person to be diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) they must meet five or more of the following symptoms:

Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)

Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love

Believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)

Requires excessive admiration

Has a very strong sense of entitlement, e.g., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations

Is exploitative of others, e.g., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends

Lacks empathy, e.g., is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others

Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her

I really like the Deathfrogg, and Froggy came up with a mythical character who fit the narcissist idiot uncle tom puddypussypissypants pretty well:

Knecht Ruprecht sometimes carries a long staff and a bag of ashes, and wears little bells on his clothes. Sometimes he rides on a white horse, and sometimes he is accompanied by fairies or men with blackened faces dressed as old women.

According to tradition, Knecht Ruprecht asks children whether they can pray. If they can, they receive apples, nuts, and gingerbread. If they cannot, he beats the children with his bag of ashes.

!!!!!!

So because the narcissist idiot uncle tom puddypussypissypants reading comprehension skills suffer at the hands of his ‘cognitive bias’ the narcissist idiot uncle tom puddypussypissypants in one of his rare clever moments coined “ruPrick.” Fine. Ol’ Rujax is a stand-up guy and he’s knows that the narcissist idiot affirmative action baby uncle tom puddypussypissypants is not going to let that one go, so whatever.

Most junior-high schoolers know that ‘squid ink’ is an escape mechanism. A device to cloud the waters and provide a means of escape.

Unintentionally accurate, this describes the means of obfuscation used by the Cephalopod, the narcissist idiot uncle tom puddypussypissypants, and Republicans in general.

The “full of” just invites…well…

The affirmative action baby, the nihilist idiot puddypussypissypants really steps in it this time!!!!

So the narcissist idiot uncle tom puddypussypissypants claims to have gone to some fancy-dancy Navy school. Does the narcissist idiot uncle tom puddypussypissypants REALLY think it was all merit that got the narcissist idiot uncle tom puddypussypissypants in (IF in fact that really happened)?

Something else that sort of bothers me, if a person is so obnoxious and such a narcissistic prick on a comment board of a local blog, like say…this one, what can such a person be like in the real world? Why would a firm EVER want to keep a problem like that around, an HR nightmare, perhaps? Oh well.

ohhhh ruPRICK… More Psych 101 Projections from ruPRICK! Sad so sad. Looks like ruPRICK forgot to close his blockquotes. Stooooooooooooopid as ever!

The ruprecht character you refer to rePRICK was after Puddy blew up OWS racist deadtoad with the racist deadtoad’s attack. Even worser cracked up on it ruPRICK! ruprecht appeared 24 hour later ruPRICK!

This is why ruPRICK is a chronological idiot just like the monomaniacal crazed cretin and the crazed cretin’s Mike Webb grave dancing attack. No concept of time on a blog. No wonder ruPRICK is a day late and way short with rePRICK’s aim!

This is why you are as stoooooooooooopid today and you will be tomorrow ruPRICK!

Recently released from prison, the director turned his career honor at the Deauville festival into a political speech

John McTiernan made the personal political as he accepted a career honor at the Deauville festival with a speech highly critical of the U.S.

After thanking the festival for welcoming him back after “an extraordinarily difficult time,” the Die Hard and Hunt for Red October director, who was released from prison Feb. 25, scrapped his prepared speech to speak off the cuff about the prison system.

“I can only plead with you to examine the current political and cultural works of my country [the U.S.]. We are in the hands of a terrible counterrevolution and a great reaction, a second Civil War sponsored by the same people that lost the first Civil War,” the director said.

Read the rest. It’s strong stuff. With idiots like Puddy there, railing about the wrong stuff and believing everything they get from FAUX News and BreitBRAT and Drudge…the bad guys got Puddy and his pals by the balls.

The guy is living high on the hog and then goes bankrupt – what a farce of a businessman……Do taxpayers (consumers) end up paying this guys debts?

And he wants to be a President and some people actually backed him. The only thing Republicans know about is spending and running up debts and then blame someone else or expects nobody to pay for their debts.

checkmate making up BULLSHITTIUM again… checkmate can check sources all checkmate wants. Just don’t offer left wrong sites. Still waiting for checkmate to explain why Sean Hannity is still living on Lawn Giland! Of course checkmate can’t!

Apparently checkmate started farting other left wrong web sites without knowing what the real content was about. Typical of checkmate!

The people that SchizoPud seems to admire and quote the most, and the websites he links to often are the same people that speak of Black folks as being obsolete farm machinery and not intelligent enough to vote correctly in any case, so they shouldn’t be allowed to vote at all.

The SchizoPud is a liar. His only real purpose coming in here is to shit up a thread with nonsense and hyperbole. In a sense, it’s all “squid ink”. He has no real opinions of his own, its all about parroting whatever he saw on television that day. It seems to be his only source of information. I ceased to attempt to reason with him a long time ago. He just doesn’t have the intellectual capacity to learn.

In that, maybe the Conservatives are right. Perhaps there should be an intelligence or literacy test to establish whether or not certain people should be allowed to participate or be allowed to speak on the subject of national affairs. But I strongly suspect that would eliminate too many European-Americans, the ones the Conservatives call “traditional” Americans, from the right to vote.

As a “non-traditional” American, I think that he’d be a little more self-aware as to what that actually means. After all, Jews were “non-traditional” Europeans, and still are considered as such by many, many people in Europe. Hell, the revolutionary government in Ukraine has already instituted mandatory registration for Jews there.

“The rabbits became strange in many ways, different from other rabbits. They knew well enough what was happening. But even to themselves they pretended that all was well, for the food was good, they were protected, they had nothing to fear but the one fear; and that struck here and there, never enough at a time to drive them away. They forgot the ways of wild rabbits. They forgot El-ahrairah, for what use had they for tricks and cunning, living in the enemy’s warren and paying his price?”

Deadtoad@58 you’re an idiot! Really racist deadtoad! Then what are you? Certainly not a truth teller.

Wanna revisit that last rant of yours where Puddy caught you plagiarizing Daily Kooks? Tried to pawn it off as deadtoad original thought. When caught you disappeared for four days with no comments whatsoever! HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR! Or wanna revisit that rant earlier this year over some leftist you liked who was a wall street raider type where your were destroyed by Puddy?

Do tell all about Puddy when you live in that fragile glass house racist moron!

Yeah, just like carpetbagger Hillary won the Senate seat in NY after Bill left office.

Or like carpetbagger Bobby Kennedy who, many years ago, got himslef elected as Senator in NY. As I recall in that election. the then-governor of NY sent Bobby a road map so he could find out where New York State was and not get lost.

Looks like Scott Brown has got lot of company who also wear the carpetbagger label, Roger.
